A CONTEMPORARY SETTING IN DOWNTOWN CHICAGO

Located in the heart of Chicago's bustling theatre district, the Gene Siskel Film Center is the Loop's contemporary alternative for business meetings and special events. With two state-of-the-art movie theaters with capacities of 197 and 61 people and a sunlight-filled Gallery/Café overlooking State Street, the Gene Siskel Film Center provides a sophisticated yet comfortable setting for corporate events, luncheons, presentations, screenings, and private receptions.

Our theaters are available for rental during non-programming hours: Monday - Thursday before 5 PM, and Friday, Saturday, and Sunday before 2 PM. Because we are a movie theater open to the public seven days a week, the Gene Siskel Film Center is rarely available for evening rentals.

The Gene Siskel Film Center is Chicago’s best resource for screening a feature film! Staff were quite competent and supportive. Our 25 guests were very impressed and enjoyed the experience! Also, several excellent hotels and restaurants within walking distance !

We’ve been returning to the Siskel Film Center every year since 2002 to hold our seminars. Fantastic city, fantastic location, fantastic venue.

The Gene Siskel Film Center theater in which we screened CERTIFIABLY JONATHAN is excellent in every way. The digital projection is razor sharp and the surround sound system has great clarity and presence. The seats are comfortable and angled so that everyone has an unobstructed view of the screen. It is a tastefully decorated, welcoming theater space. The area outside the theaters was perfect for our 120-person reception. It has space for tables, a buffet, and a wet bar. The whole complex has a great vibe. It’s a new space, but you can feel a classic love of cinema in the atmosphere. I can’t wait to come back!
